Well, on her back so you can rub her tummy... Our Joan is more of an easy-listening kind of gal. She is very mellow and affectionate and will get along with other mellow cats who don't play their music too loud. She loves being pet and cuddled and has great house manners. She would be a great cat for the... Full story »

I'm Buddy, a big old goofy lab with a heart of gold. My mom lost her home, thus so did I. I am a really easy-going guy who doesn't have a lot of demands: a nice walk every day, a game of fetch, some belly rubs, and a nice big bed for me to take leisurely naps on. I walk... Full story »

My name is Riley, and I'm quite smiley! I'm rather pretty, and one laid-back kitty. Did you know we could rhyme? You'll have quite a good time with a boy this divine! I have long black and white hair, and a personality beyond compare! I'm only five-years-old and delightful to hold - my eyes are bright green and you'll find... Full story »

Hi my shelter name is Beth after the sensitive sister in Little Women. Personally I think I am a lot spunkier than they give me credit for! This place is scary for a youngster like me. Anyway I am listed as a Black and tan female American Shelter Dog. That is a fancy way to say they do not know... Full story »

My name is Macy, I'm a really pretty black and white tuxedo Shorthair who ended up here at the shelter when a good Samaratin found me wandering outside. Which is really scary, because I'm declawed on my front feet and shouldn't be outside! I'm so sweet and lovable, and will make a great, calm lap cat for some lucky family... Full story »

Hello all! I am one lucky boy because after being hit by a car, the shelter did surgery on my leg to fix my hip, and my foster mom helped me recover. She says that I am a lovebug with all people and I even got to go to work with her. I am a pretty laid back fellow for... Full story »

My name is Hero. I am not sure how a mature, well-mannered, and good looking dog like me ended up here in the shelter, but now I am in need of a new home. I am a happy girl, yet it takes me a little bit to warm up to new folks - it's kind of a hound thing. Please... Full story »

Hi there folks! I am a sweet mixed-breed lady looking for a new start in life. My previous owner didn't take very good care of me, and I spent most of my life outside in a makeshift kennel. The best thing he did for me was let the folks here at the shelter give me a second chance. I love... Full story »

I bet you will not see another dog like me on your block! I am just the sweetest hound girl you would ever meet, as well as the prettiest. I like all kinds of people even if I am sometimes a little shy. I want you to know that as the companion of a hound you can expect singing when... Full story »

Edwin is a neutered, black male Domestic Shorthair. He is approximately 2 years old and weighs about 10.8 lbs.

Honeydripper (MCAS named) is a lovely, spayed black and orange tortoiseshell female Domestic Shorthair.

I’m a cat who does everything in a big way. I not only like to be in the middle of things - I like to lead the parade. I’m an adventurous cat, but I’ll still make plenty of time to show you my affectionate side. I’m the demonstrative type, you might say. Want a cat who’s brimming with confidence?... Full story »

Willy is a chubby-cheeked heart-stealer who is a very good companion - he loves to follow you around wherever you go, and comes to you whenever you talk to him (he'll hold up his end of the conversation, too!). He loves to be pet and snuggle up next to you. He gets along very well with other cats, and... Full story »

Please don't over look me. I am a serious but loyal girl looking for a home that is forever. I came to the shelter and my family has not come to look for me! I hope my next home is more diligent than the last. Let's see, what can I say about me? Well, I am beautiful with a... Full story »

Sweet tempered Clementine is good with other cats, children, and even cat-respectful dogs. She likes attention, head rubs, playing, investigating and helping everyone enjoy life to the fullest! What a darling Clementine is (she doesn't even mind if you sing that old song to her). What she says about herself is this: You're working on the computer? Let me... Full story »

Ace is a classic tuxedo fellow—with the nice manners to match! This declawed gentleman likes to be petted, gets along well with children and other gentle cats, and graciously enjoys loving and being loved. Ace would say he’d be your personal assistant: “You're working on the computer? Let me press the keys. Reading the paper? I'll hold the pages... Full story »

They just don't come much sweeter than Roxy. Her breed, the American Pitbull Terrier, has been much maligned the past couple of years. This makes her (and us) very sad and frustrated, as there are thousands of awesome pitties out there who are good canine citizens, yet they get a bum rap. Roxy is one of those pit bulls...
